it's that children television anime crap from Japan ... where they have them little balls and they call monsters out of em to fight each other... kinda like a dog fight, but different.

It's the dev's way of trying to control what people say about thier product. People were using that term to describe starwars because of people pulling monsters out of thier pockets.

SOE was threatened by a lawsuit from the developers of P O K E M O N for using that word on their website (IE. Forums = Website even though SOE has not control over it). To keep the lawsuit from going to court SOE banned/filtered the word.

This word was generating TONS of useless spam in the forums. Now at least we can read more creative text when people argue.

It's true. Nor can you say **edit**, **edit**, or even **edit**.
However, I do believe you can at least say **edit**
(Nope, not that either)
